For anyone with earlier version of the nav and unable to upgrade can you please post the details from the nav service menu...press and hold menu button for a few secs to enter the menu and post details of the versions of train, etc...

Hi Singh, as requested.

I was able to hop into a new MY23 R-Line at the dealership over the weekend and noticed it had s/w version 2869 loaded.

By next model it appears that more functions could be subscription, licence based....most manufacturers going that way, want dynamic light assist then pay $800, want trailer assist for some time then pay $10 per month...

After struggling getting the map update to work I had some success yesterday.

TL;DR: I used the USB under the armrest instead of the SD card slot.

The issue: I had an SD card, formatted NTFS with the map update. Popped it in the SD card slot - tells me that it's updating but then gets stuck on 0%.
Tried a different card, exFAT formatting - no luck.

Curiously, even without an SD card in, if I went to 'update software' it did exactly the same thing.
I was beginning to suspect the SD card reader.

Yesterday I thought I'd see if I could do a firmware update from 2828 to 2838.
Popped the card in the slot, opened the service menu (press and hold 'menu'), went to update. System rebooted into engineering mode.
Went to to the update and the SD card source is greyed out. Hmm.

Got my USB-SD card adapter. Put the exact same SD card in the USB adapter and plugged it in under the armrest. It found the USB source and did the update.

Wondered if the same might work for the maps. It did.

So... I think the SD card reader may be slightly broken. I need to test it with some music or something.

Oh - one other thing - I think it's important that the SD card write protection switch is set.

Anyway, that's how I got it to work. May not work for everyone :)

EDIT: ...and now my traffic is working :)

Good stuff, you got it all sorted.
Perhaps others could try this...why it won't work for some MY models straight off sd card remains a mystery

Hi all,
went to update map with the latest, wouldn`t work. Tried Vne`s suggestion to go in engineering ( service ) mode. saw update software icon, pressed it. and the screen locked up. Can`t go back, move anything on the screen. locked the car, left it for 2 hours. booted up into sevice mode with a locked (touch) screen. Either I have stuffed the nav software, or (hopefully) there is a magic button to press somewhere. any help appreciated

By the way, that engineering mode won't do the maps. Only the firmware.
Actually I'll caveat that. Maybe it will do the maps as well as the firmware.
Once I'd done the firmware thru the engineering menu, I figured I'd try the maps the 'normal' way and it worked.
Hence me thinking my SD card reader isn't happy.

Just tried this and still no luck at all. Tried through USB 1 & 2. Using a Lexar USB 3.1 to SD adapter
All I get is "Reading data" and a spinning hourglass thingy.

If I remove the map SD card and replace it with another SD card containing radio station logos for example, then it reads for a short while and loads ready for use. no issues.
So frustrating.............
 
That's really annoying.
Mine did it straight from USB, although in my case it was immediately after a firmware update to 2838. Whether that's relevant or not I have no idea...
 
...nah doesn't work through the engineering menu.

However, I plugged the SD card in through the USB in the armrest. After 10-15 secs or so it came up with this:

My SD card hardware/formatting/files:

(note adapter switch "down" to write protect)

Why is it so touchy, makes no sense. Has anybody tried several times and suddenly its started,with the same card, which would suggest a touchy reader and or software. Or has it never started with a particular card, which would suggest a faulty card. I tried today with a micro sd card in an adaptor and then the same software in a usb stick (usb1) no joy with either????.o_O:cry::LOL::sick:
